Warmer Mind Sway
I am so tired
At kitchen table
Cat stare orange
I sit on chair
Handkerchief red, pencil box black
Chair cat grey
I shut my eyes and think of blue
I open and shut my eyes
I sway my body back and forth in a gray soft robe
I sway
I will leave my house in this mess
Water in the sink like stream, like puddle, silver, then fade
Box on the floor like brown
Shoes with cat
Open drawer
Ribbon
White cat floor
Jacket, scarf, jacket, shawl
Clock
Three hours backward
Couch like homeless lumps
Humming electric ==============
Screen saver swim swim swim
I could have peanuts, coffee
I could have lotion
Pillows, blankets, get naked
Joy, curl
Slide sheets say, “Home”
Run my legs in the covers
Run run run
Blankets …
Blankets …
Warmer, mind sway
Swoom. Black screen.
Last eyeshow inside lids
The feeling
This feeling
Takes a day alone — to fall, to rest, to believe in real meaning
Meaning is in the darkness, the alone.
I fall like this out of this world into the darkness — thank you.
